I'm a Gambler

I’M A GAMBLER

By Rainey Wetnight

(Guitar Intro)

If riches can’t buy happiness, they sure can buy some peace.
I’m slaving day to day, and hoping not to break my lease.
Yeah, I’m a gambler, and I’m playing with my life.
What else you gonna do - what else you GOTTA do - when money’s tight?

I’ve no renter’s insurance, or any coverage for my car.
If the police pull me over, they’ll surely lock me up behind gray bars.
Yeah, I’m a gambler, and I’m playing with my life.
What else you gonna do - what else you GOTTA do - when money’s tight?

(Slow-Burn Guitar Solo)

I work two jobs already, but they just don’t pay enough.
If I get another one, I’ll sleep four hours a night, and that’s too rough.
Yeah, I’m a gambler, and I’m playing with my life.
What else you gonna do - what else you GOTTA do - when money’s tight?

I shun the doctor’s office, because I know what they’ll say:
“We’re going to bill you later”, but with my soul I’ll have to pay!
Yeah, I’m a gambler, and I’m playing with my life.
What else you gonna do - what else you GOTTA do - when money’s tight?

Just Another Woman/Just Another Man: My First Blues Song

JUST ANOTHER WOMAN/JUST ANOTHER MAN

By Rainey Wetnight

(Guitar Intro)

MALE SINGER:

I think I’m going to leave you; there’s no need to stick around.
We knew that when we met. Why do you keep dragging me down?
Why do you nag me all day long? Why can’t I get some peace?
Our baby’s not only one who’s wailing. Stop and cease!
We found each other at the bar, and formed a simple plan.
You were just another woman. I was just another man.

FEMALE SINGER:

So now you say we’re over, and you’re headed out the door.
You say that I’m not good to you, but I think you’re just bored.
I knew you were a player, but I’m tired of your games.
There’s someone else to think about. You put our child to shame!
Just like with your last hookup - first you loved her, then you ran.
Sure, I’m just another woman, but you’re just another man.

CHORUS:

(Female Singer)  Just another woman! (Male Singer)  Just another man! (Sung 4 times)

(Wicked Guitar Solo)

MALE SINGER:

You may be my “baby mama”, but it’s all the same to me.
Take the bottles, and the diapers, and the kid, and set me free.
Don’t act like you’re so blameless, with no stain upon your hands.
We both knew what we were after, and it’s called a one-night stand.
That’s the number-one reason I am not your biggest fan:
You’re just another woman, and I’m just another man.

FEMALE SINGER:

That’s how we’re going to end it? I should have known from the start.
I should have gone on “cruise control,“ and never lost my heart.
Of course you think it’s time to go, and finally clear the slate,
‘Cause you think you’re the only one involved. Now it’s too late.
Think you’ll forget us quickly? No, I don’t think you can.
I’m not just another woman. You’re not just another man.

CHORUS:

(Female Singer)  Just another woman! (Male Singer)  Just another man! (Sung 4 times)
